2008 tacoma keyless access

2008 tacoma

has electric doors and windows

In photo looks to have keyless module.

It will not go into fob programming mode. A locksmith said truck does not have this option which he based this on the passenger door having a key hole to unlock.

is the photo a keyless module? If yes can it be hooked up to
Work?

 

I just checked my 2008 access cab. It has keyless entry and has key locks on both sides.

Sorry I don’t have answers to your other questions. I’m so newby

 

parts location

 

Look at this thread for possible solution. I have an access cab that was pre-wired. Installed the module and programmed a fob and all is well. If yours is already installed and you can’t program the fobs, it may have died.

Does your key in (unlock warning) switch work properly (beeps with the key inserted and door open and stops beeping when key is removed)?

If not you need to address that as that switch plays a part in the programming process.

 

Could also be a dead battery in the remote.

 

Where do you find such drawings @super_white ?

Factory service manual coming next Rock Auto order. I need all the help I can get.

 

I'm a Lexus tech so I have access to TIS and occasionally try to help people out.

 

Mine even has the white box module and it has a plug in it

but still not working to get into program mode
Least i think that is it. In the glove box up high behind black plastic

 

That's the wireless module but what steps are you following? If you don't follow it to the letter, it will fail.

 

Yes that is it, you may want to check for voltage according to the schematic Super White provided. Looks to be between red and White/black wires for 12v.
Or check the 7.5 amp fuse. Schematic page 3 but the fuse also supplies the AC and gauges so most likely it’s ok.
You would like to make sure that the power is reaching the module for sure.

 

Module getting 12v key beeps still will not go into program mode

 

Just notice no chime when door is open but the door open light comes on so maybe fine

 

Forgot to mention earlier, but I checked my 2008 with remote keyless entry and does indeed have a key lock on the passenger door.

 

Yeh i dont think that means anything

 

That's your issue, the key in (unlock warning switch) has to work to get into program mode.

 

Can you please explain more here? Even though the open door light is coming on?
Where to look for the door chime
Issue?

it chimes with key in but when key is out no chime which maybe what its suppose to do

 

The Unlock Warning Switch is located on the bottom of the ignition lock cylinder housing, when a key is inserted it grounds the signal wire to tell the Body ECU that a key is inserted. It's relatively common for the Unlock Warning Switch to fail.
If the Body ECU can't see a key being inserted and removed you can't enter registration mode.

 

Okay its sounding with the key in

 

3 options:
1) get TIS by paying per day service or work at a shop that does that for you
2) buy ripped off copy on eBay
